Health Outcomes
associated with air pollution Air pollution is a major public health concern. It is linked to a range of adverse health outcomes, including increased risk of respiratory problems, cardiovascular disease, and lung cancer. It can also shorten life expectancy, particularly among those who are already vulnerable to illnesses such as the elderly and people with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. Air pollution also contributes to climate change, which can lead to an array of additional health problems such as heat stress and vector-borne illnesses. Reducing air pollution can lead to improved health outcomes, including lower morbidity and mortality from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, as well as a reduced risk of climate-related health issues. People can reduce the impact of air pollution by taking steps such as limiting car travel and switching to cleaner sources of energy.
